The Dangers of Jealousy - Parashat Vayeshev

kapar was also the father of barara another very famous tana and uh he says that there's a few simple things that could literally a person can lose theira now person that has jealousy there's a few different levels of it the most extreme form of jealousy is some body that's upset that someone else has something and they don't simple and to the point he has a car I don't he has a big house I don't he has a wife I don't he has this I don't says that's the worst level of jealousy worst how many of us are innocent of this second lesser degree of Envy is someone that can't tolerate when other people have more he also has but they have more he has a Mercedes or something but the other guy has a Bentley he has a Toyota but the other guy has a Mercedes he has a house the other guy has a mansion He has a watch the other guy has a fancy watch he has a wife the other guy's wife is a few years younger a few years prettier and whatever whatever he has he has but he's eating his heart day and night because he has a little more and the most tolerable level is someone that's jealous of his friend actually having and just wishes that he had it also natural jealousy that he Le he has a nice house I wish I had a nice house still jealousy all of them are bad the serious problem we have here is that just wanting someone something that someone has just not because I'm I'm upset that he has it cuz just I want it that's also considered bad but the sad reality is that most people are in the first class most people are upset that the other person has and they don't and this is the root of all the problems that have ever happened from B until today you look at the entire T and you're going to find endless amount of stories that start with K that start with jealousy starts off with the angels and Sh looked at they thought he was God they thought he was God in human form he was so big so beautiful so perfect such wisdom that they could not even comprehend they thought he was God they were about to bow to him and that's when Hashem made him go to sleep they knew Hashem doesn't go to sleep oh it's not God but they were so jealous of the said I can't let this continue I'm G to ruin it I'm going to ruin it why are they so jealous of him I'm going to ruin it he went ruin it became the snake became the serpent you know the whole story made the woman sin and then him sin and then they were both kicked out of ganaden now before they got kicked after they got kicked out what happened that Sons can and Abel what happened with the Suns Cain had half the world Abel had the other half of the world who's better than you you don't have to worry about a mortgage you don't have to worry about Banks calling you you don't have to worry about insurance companies you don't have to worry about yot you have to worry about nothing you have half the world whatever you one is yours no no no no I don't like it why he has two wives I only have one they were both born with twins and those times obviously since it's the creation of the world hasem allowed for a brother to be with his sister if they're married so Cain was born with a single woman twin and Abel was was born with two women two girls twins so was triplets kanaine didn't like it he has two wives I only have one I don't like it jealousy killed them killed them you fast forward you go to generation of Noah generation of Noah what happened all the all the gone NE that happened in the generation of Noah not too different from today's generation what happened people started stealing each other's wives jealousy fast forward abuu each one of them had their own trials you go to this week's CH this week's CH you have yourik sadik only person entire T says he a sadik your aad who's better than you called you tadik just call us just come in just say come in don't even say my name just come in to G it's already enough he says this his brothers also this is comes from them and it says so isov loved y more than all of his other Sons since he was a child of old age meaning he was a he had a lot of wisdom and he made for him a uh a fine W tunic and his brothers saw it that he that it was him that the father loved the most and the brothers hated him because of it to such an extent that they couldn't even say hello they hated him so much not they hat him listen he's a Obama fan he's a uh you know Trump fan no the jealousy that the ABA loves him more than us can't stand it was sadik and Tam y God bless him wasik was little young so now he didn't realize that hisim Brothers could possibly hate him so what did he do when the father made him this special clothing he would wear it and he would tell him oh look at the clothing I have look at the clothing I have now he's thinking there to be happy for him why would his brothers why would they be upset be happy for me ABA made me a special outfit look at the clothing I have look at what are you doing to yourself what are you doing to yourself your so we see that it's also here fast forward fast forward could not have enough could not have enough could not have enough but these are couldn't have enough didn't matter what he someone had something else he had to have it but he's it's not really good examples what's a good example K is a good example why wasad K wasad kak was one of the before he went to K knew the entire Tor kak was wealthy in big Bal K CH leev he's one of the leaders he was so big that he got 250 of the to sign up off yes we agree we agree we had a missionary want to come to a b a year ago went to to get a single signature I think I had to give my heart I had to put my heart on the table is like is my heart give me the signature and exchange for one signature me who am I say is my heart hey take the heart take this take this okay just give me one signature kak 250 signed on the spot with no questions asked for what not against the missionary against against mhu that made all of them do Chua mhu you're going against mosenu why because I'm jealous of mosenu I want to be the leader why is mosenu a leader what he's smart I'm smart also why he has money I have money also what he Liv also why is mosu the the leader Why Not Me Maybe maybe he didn't really speak to God maybe God didn't really mean for him to stay the leader maybe this maybe this why jealousy and jealousy took kak out of the world and the says no why jealousy simple jealousy made the ground open up and swallow him and his family with the exception of a few of his kids that did Chua in the last minute swallowed him in everything that belonged to him meaning if somebody still continued holding on to any of his money the ground swallowed him also just for holding on to anything that belonged to kak why hasem hates jealousy hates it we are meant to be a light unto the Nations not to follow their misguided practices remember every Jew has to remember that he's a Jew and she's a Jew we don't celebrate non-jewish holidays even if they seem harmless it's a zul disrespect to the Torah and could lead to CH Hashem desecration of God's name stick to our holy tah and our own holidays that's the path of a true Jew
